GOOD WEATHER FOR
INGERSOLL FAIR
Crowd Estimated • At Three
Thousand On Hand For
Program Wednesday After
noon.
Despite the late date and the short
time in which to arrange for a pro
gram, Ingersoll Fair, which was held
on Tuesday and Wednesday, October
14th and 16th, was considered highly
successful by the directors of the
Ingersoll, North and West Oxford
Agricultural Society, its sponsors.
Wednesday was a bright sunny
day and more than made -up for the
rain and threatening weather of
Tuesday morning. A crowd estimated,
at over three thousand visited Victor
ia Park on Wednesday afternoon,
when the main program was put on.
Hon. P. M. Dewan, M.L.A. for Ox
ford and Ontario Minister of Agri
culture, was to have officially opened
the Fair, but because of a previous
engagement he was unable to be
present and sent his Deputy Minister,
W. R. Reek. Mr. Reek in declaring
the Fair officially opened, touched
upon the importance of Agriculture
particularly during the present world
crisis. Agricultural Fairs did a great
deal towards interesting the public
'in the efforts of the farmers and it
was to be regretted he said that
many fairs had been cancelled dur
ing the past two years on account
of fair grounds being taken over by
the militia, but he was pleased to
see that Ingersoll had decided upon
i .fair after passing it up last year.
During the afternoon, the Band of
the Royal Canadian Regiment from
London, under the leadership of
Band Sergeant, William Armstrong,,
headed a parade to the park and
providcdWnusic throughout the after
noon. This splendid musical organiza
tion was brought here through the
kind permission of the Commanding
Officer of the unit, Col. W. Neilson,
D.S.O., a* the result of the efforts
of "Major J. C. Herbert, O.C. of D.
Company, Oxford Rifles, and the of
ficials of the Fair Board. During the
afternoon, a recruiting tent was
operated under the directiorvof Major

One of Ingersoll’s most beautiful
homes, that of Mrs. J. B. Muir,
Margaret street, was the scene of
the tea on Thursday afternoon last,
which marked the fiftieth anniversary
of the Missionary Circle of the
King’s Daughters. The guest book
allowed over 170 names of those
who had come to congratulate this
fine organization on Its half century
of charitable work for the town of
Ingersoll. The spacious rooms of the
Muir home provided a lovely setting
for the tea with bouquets of autumn
flowers making bright touches' of
colour throughout. Receiving the
many guests were the hostess, Mrs.
J. B. Muir and the president of the
Circle, Mrs. T. N. Dunn.
At 3.30 o’clock, a short ceremony
took place to open the tea. Following
the singing of the National Anthem,
Mrs. Dunn addressed a few words
of welcome to the guests. A most
interesting synopsis of the life of
the Missionary Circle, prepared and
read by Mrs. F. P. Leake, presented
to the guests a picture of the trials
•and triumphs of fifty years. The
Circle had its beginning in 1890,
when two young ladies, Mrs. J. A.
Coulter and Mrs. Alex. McCarter,
who now lives in Vancouver, con
ceived the idea. By the next year
there were 10 members who met
once a month for devotional exer
cises and sewing. From this small be
ginning, the Mi*sionary Circle has
giown so that in the fifty years the
roll has included 197 names. There
have been 22 leaders in this period.
The first leader was Mrs. J. A. Coul
ter, and those who followed were
Mrs. Hugill, Miss Mary Barr, Mrs, 0.
E. Robinson, Mrs. F. Curtis, Mis. R.
Morrow, Mrs. W. A. Sudworth, Mrs.
F. P. Leake, Mrs. L. Bradbury, Mrs.
G. Smith, Mrs. R. B. Hutt, Mrs. T.
N. Dunn, Mrs. W. K. Watterworth,
Mrs. W. R. Veale, Mr£. P. L. Smith.
Mjp. E-. L. Olmstead, Mrs. Charles
Pearson, Mrs. A. N. Parke? Mrs. F.
W. Staple*, Mrs, W. Leckie, Mrs.
Irene Copeland, Mrs. N. Gali. At
onetime, ten husbands of members
joined as King’s Sons,
The pledge, “Lend a helping hand
whenever and wherever the Master
calleth,” b in itself a synopsis of the
Circle’s efforts. Their methods of
raising money have been as varied
jis their ways of spending it, but
every effort has been fully directed
in the spirit of their pledge.
Rummage sales, now a popular
■form of rabing money, were begun
in Ingersoll in 1904 by the Mission
ary Circle and since that time over
|3,000 has been raised by this
faeans alone. Concerts, banquets,
tag days and many other undertake
- Inga, have brought the group before
the people of Ingersoll, who gener-
: ously responded knowing the fine
rtundard of the works which they
were supporting. In 1918 the Circle
1 sponsored the Spring Chautauqua.
Booths at the Ingersoll Fair and
serving at the Bowlers’ Tournaments,
• were undertaken for several years,

their first enterprises was the form

morning, five or six members walked
to act as teachers. For a time mem

took the form of a'ladies’ night and
wae celebrated by enjoying a fowl
supper prepared by ladies of the
Folden’s United Church.
President Gordon Henry acted as
master of ceremonies and introduced
various members taking ■ part in the
programme. Y”s Man Dr. Reg. Rog
ers led in the sing-song while Ewart
Bartley- accompanied at the piano.
Mrs. Robert Wark was the winner of
the door prize, a piece of china don
ated by Carr’s Log Cabin China
Shop. Harold Uren expressed the ap
preciation of the club to the ladies
who prepared such a delicious meal.
Mrs. Charles Merrill replied on be
half of the ladies.The speaker of the evening was
Dr. J. A. Spencdly, head of the
English Department at the Univer
sity of Western Ontario, who chose
as his subject, “Robinson Crusoe.”
Dr. Spencely stated that Dafoe wrote
the book for adults of middle class
descent.. However it ha* become the
best boy’s book ever written and
Dafoe died befpre knowing . of this
fact. When the book was first pub
lished ithad five editions in four
months and was. soon translated in
four langdages. There have been
forty-one books written in imitation
of it. This book has now been trans
lated into every civilized language Of
Europe and there are forty-seven
editions on the market and it is still
increasing in popularity. The book
was published in 1719 and carried no
author’s name.
What u the reason for thia book’s
great popularity? It is not the char
acter. of the hero, for Robinson
Crusoe is a child’s hero. It is not
rhe plot for the basis of the plot has
no originality^ It is not a good storyas it has no ’climax. After the book
first became papular, Dafoe wrote
parts two and three. The present
edition combines the’imJst of par|
one arid sections "of part-tdTo.i'lt has
not a true plot ¥ut contains a series
of. incidences. There is no love atory,
no children, no fun, no pathos It
can make no one laugh and no one
cry. It is not the life story of Alex
ander Selkirk m many Believe, The
story lives because Robinson Crusoe
does and the greatness of the book
ends when he leaves the island. The
book has not been made popular be
cause of a famous author, for Dafoe
.wrote several books but none of
them are considered noteable. Dr.
Spencely stated that the book owes
its popularity to what takes place on
trie island. The happenings are mys
terious, on that bland we have an
Englishman building up an existence
from nothing. Thus we have an alle
go ry of what Englishmen have been
doing in the British Jslea The story
sums up twelve centuries of human
endeavours on the island of Britain
up to 19. We see John Bull grow
ing up.- The story contains only An
glo-Saxon national characteristics.
There b no music,’ no fainting, no
fine art. We find an Englishman’s
religion in this book. 4L is not mys
terious, but b a simple, practical re
ligion. We have the cose' of a .‘trong
individual and a strong society, also
the situation of labour and capital.
There is no equalitarism but we have

Russian Guerillas’ Pledge of Death
Operating behind the German linens from the Baltic
to the Black Sea, Russian guerilla bands have struck
blow on (blow at Nazi communications—destroying
bridges, attacking isolated units, leaving to German
columns nothing but the devastation of a scorched
earth.
In furtherance of their campaign, members of Ac
guerilla bands, according to Russian papers, have
taken this pledge of death before surrender:
“I, a citizen of the great.Soviet Union, a faithful
son of (name of Republic), swear that I will not lay
down my weapons until the last Fascist in our land
is destroyed. I swear to obey the orders of my com
manders and to keep strict military discipline. I
swear to take unmerciful revenge for the destruction
of our towns and villages, for the death of our chil
dren for the tortures, violence and humiliation in
flicted upon my people. Blood must be repaid by
blood and death by death. I swear to assist the Red
Army in every possible way, to destroy the enemy
without sparing, my efforts or even my life. I swear
that I would rather die than surrender to the enemy
and that I will not let my people be enslaved by the
bloodthirsty Fascists. Should I, through weakness,
cowardice or evil designs break this solemn ’oath and
betray the interests of my people, may I die a shame
ful death at the hands of my comrades..*’

the engagement of their daughter, Clara Ella, to
T. Watson Smith of Zorra, the marriage to take place
quietly the end of this month.
We Soviet women, like women
all over the world, detest war. We
are tom with anguish at the horrors
which our husbands, sons, fathers
and brothers have to undergo in this
hateful war.
But, also like the women of other
countries, we love our Soviet Fath
erland and are determined that the
barbarian Hitlerites shall not
trample upon our hard-won rights
and liberties.
Our young Soviet women patriots,
factory workers, members of col
lective ‘ farms, typists, clerks, engin
eers, teachers, nurses, housewives,
actresses, students, etc., etc., have
flocked to the hospitals -and Red
Cross-centres, offering their blood
for use at the Front.
They realize how important it is
to have a sufficient supply of pre
served blood for immediate trans
fusion whenever necessary.
They demand also to be sent to
the Front as nurses, doctors, or in
any capacity in which they can be
of use.
Said two young factory girls at
Kiev:
"We want to go to the Front—
we shall give to our Fatherland all
our knowledge, strength, abilities so
that our mighty peoples may emerge
victorious ... In the meantime we
shall work with redoubled vigour at
our bench.”
Housewives and office workers are
volunteering in their hundreds of
thousands to take the place of their
menfolk in various mines, factories
and field.
One worker, Z. I. Berezina, re
mained at her drilling bench
throughout the night of an air raid,
and her output was two and a half
times her normal one.
“But you are real heroine,” some
one said to her.
“Not at all,” she replied. “I was
only doing my duty like all our
Soviet women. So long as Hitler and
his Nazi savages exist we shall work
and-fight to the last ounce of our
strength.”

Help For The Blind
In Canada last year there were more blind people
gainfully Employed than in any previous year of the
nation’s history. There were more blind men a.nd
■women in business. There was a greater quantity of
’’HJindcraft” goods produced. There were more blind
people employed in handicrafts in their own homes.
#There were more blind home teachers employed in
the instruction of blind adults. There were more
pupils in this extensive, informal essential school.
There were more blind field service workers, spread
ing to a wider area the services which the Canadian
National Institute for the Blind is able to render to
b^nd men and women to whom some of the privil
eges enjoyed by the urban blind are necessarily de
nied. There were more blind people enjoying the
facilities accorded by the libraries of Braille and
-.Talking Books,- There was,- during the year Just
paired, a higher standard of living amongst the blind
citizens of Canada than ever before attained.
In this brief summary, culled from the annual re
port of The Canadian National Institute for the
Blind. Colonel E. A. Baker, O.B.E., Managing-Direc
tor, records the progress of a great -Canadian enter
prise in the field of humanitarian development.
Talking Books are ixwks recorded on phonograph
discs for the use of the blind. Such books are re
corded in England and the United States and are
distributed in Canada through the library facilities
of The Institute. They are loaned Just like ordinary
books and the service is free.. Blind person* who
use Talking Books must have a specially-designed
reading machine to handle the records. Latt year,
263 blind men and wofnen in Canada made use of
thb service. A ehart published .in the annual report
of the Institute shows that, in the fii-t year that
Talking Books were loaned, 1938, Talking-Book
readers borrowed 8.966 records. The growth of the
bueinesa is‘indicated by the fact that in 1986, 15,678
were borrowjeji; and in 1937, 32,589; in 1938, 46,148;
• ih 1939, 49(891;. and in the year'1940, which the re-
„ port covers, 63.750. The longvat book in the Talking-
Booka library is Lea Miserable* whi^fe takes 104 rec
ords Gone with the Wind run a poor second with 80re<ord“
-According to the annual report of The Canadian
National Institute for the Blind, there were,’ in Can
ada and Newfoundland, 12,520 blind pereoii* at th.
end of March, 31st. 1941. The figure is 528 higher
than the year before. Of the total, 3,732 were living

winter. It is a good practice to spray
the inside of such buildings with a
disinfectant lime wash which will
destroy any mites, lice and other
parasites that may be in the crevices
and woodwork. Whitewash to which
has been added 5 per cent carbolic
acid or ,2 per cent cresol makes a
good disinfectant wash and will des
troy many parasites. Poultry houses
particularly should be very thorough
ly cleaned and sprayed. Especially
are sanitary measures indicated
when buildings have been used to
harbor 'animal* afflicted with mange

but in such cases a stronger wash
should be used than the carbolic
Wcifi lime. Crude oil or one of the
commercial emulsified coal tar dis

— From —THE CANADIANRED CROSS SOCIETYThousands of blankets, new or as"good as new," are urgently needed
for bombed but victims in Britain,
and the people of Canada are asked
to "spare a blanket” to the Canadian
Red Cross Society, which on Monday
|apnched its second big appeal to
provide thebe necessities for -raid
sufferers.
.In the last campaign the Red
Cross collected . throughout Canada
lo8,137 blankets and 101,234 quilts.
This supply has been distributed to
bombing victims, military hospi
tals, and for the benefit of distressed
merchant .teamen.
Many expressions of gratitude
have been received by the Canadian
Red Cross from bombed sufferers in
Britain and many have called the
contributions of blankets and quiltsa “god-send.”
In such centres as Birmingham,
Coventry, Plymouth and London,
thousands of Canadian blankets and
quilts were made available to the
homeless within a few4 hours of the
raids due to the Efficient system of
distribution planned by the Canadian
Red Cross overseas organization in
London; .
According to advices from Brit
ain the need for more blankets and
quilts is most urgent. But blankets
must be woollen and new or as
"good as new.”
Those unable to provide blankets
or quilts may aid the appeal by con
tributing 52 for the purchase of a
single blanket. Donations should be
sent to provincial or local headquarters.
Local citizens interested in contri
buting to the appeal are asked to
get in touch with their district
branch or the Ingersoll branch
headquarters for directions as to
where the blankets and quilts may
may be sent Dr. C. A. Osborn 5
president of the Ingersoll Red Cross
Branch and Alex. Yule, manager of'

treasurer.

land Fling and sword dance was
given by Misses Helen and Joyce
Campbell' of Embro and Ruth Coll
ins and Muriel McDiarmid of Inger
soll, played their accompaniment on
the bag pipes.
In the palace the number of ex
hibits were down under previous
years beca’use of the late date of
the fair, but the quality of the
articles on display was good, partic
ularly in the vegetable clashes and
flowers. A display of articles made
by members of the Ingersoll Branch
of the Red Cross attracted much at
tention. There was some fancy work
and canned goods shown and a fair
sized display of baked goods.
The Bowman Company, Preston
T. Walker and Jack’s Clothing Store
were the only firms having displays
in the palace. McVittie and Shelton
Limited, Ingersoll, and G. G. Hogg,
Thamesford, Ford Sales and Service,
had a display ofzFord Tractors and
Ford Ferguson Wheeless Imple
ments. The new 1942 Model Dodge
cars were exhibited by* Ingersoll Auto
Electric FleischeF and Jewett Ltd.
Butler and Cook had * display of the
1042 models of Plymouth cars and
Case tractors were exhibited by
Butler and Ellery.
The merry-go-round was the main
attraction of the midway and drew
a large patronage throughout the
entire afternoon from the young
folk. There were several refresh
ment stands, dart games, wheel
games and other games of chance
and skill as well as a medicine man
and a fortune telling booth.
There was a particularly terge
entry in the horse classes, sonfe very
fine light and heavy horses being
exhibited. In fact, the number shown
was said to be larger than in many
fermer years and the work of the
judges was most difficult There was
also a good entry in the cattle
classes.

Almost a quarter of school children have eyes that need attention.Very often their condition is not Suspected and they may be lax in
studies and the vivacity so natural to childhood.
As one goes on, more eyes take oh faults. Fortunately the majorityof these deficiencies can be corrected through the use of glassesfitted by a competent optometrist,
Schools and industries have found great profit in routine eye tests

Scotland, Sept. 6/41
The Town Clerk,
Ingersoll, Ont
Dear Sir:—Please convey my sin
cere thanks to His Worship the
Mayor and Members of the Town
Council for their gift to me of a pen
and pencil set The gift was a very
appropriate one as it certainly has
been put to use since my arriving in
Britain.
Two weeks ago I just finished a
very strenuous two month's course
in '.‘Radiolocation’’, so my pen and
*pencil were very useful.*
After finishing the course I was
posted to North Scotland and am at
present the Officer Commanding one
of the stations in the vital defence
of Britain I enjoy the work very
much and find it very interesting,
So far I’ve seen quite a lot of this
Island' and everywhere I find the
people carry on with a fine spirit.
My journey across the ocean was safe
and uneventful, thanks to the vigil
ance of the Navy and the R.A.F. It’s
an inspiring sight to see the convoys
getting through.
Thu mr raids, what few we have,
have become the "hit and run" var
iety. They aren't as bold as they
were, our boys make it too hot for
them. Keep the supplies coming from
Canada and we will hold the fort un
til we have gained sufficient strength
to strike hard and cause Gerimny to
fold up.
Once again many thank- and best
regards to my Ingersoll friends.
I remain.
Yours truly,
J. A. WILSON, F/O.

I Page 6 THE INGERSOLL TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCT. 23, 1941BRITISH INDUSTRIES— From Roburt Williamton —RADIO IN THE WARSince the start of the war, Britainhas made remarkable progress in
applying radio to war purposes.
Radio-location is, of course, the"
outstanding innovation. It can be
ty-iefly described as a system for de
tecting and plotting the position
and course of aircraft by multiple
radio beams which, when they en
counter any object, inform the
operator of its pre ence. The hydro
phone, as used . by ships, provides
a rough analogy. It plots the contours of the ocean bed or detectsthe existence of submarines in thevicinity.In radio-location the intersectionof the beam by aircraft is recordedin earft transmitting station and theposition of the intersecting machine is worked out trigonometrically.Ultimately, success depends on cover
ing the entire country with locator
stations, thus forming on intercon
nected network of waves through 1
which no enemy aircraft can pass
without betraying its approach. (
Dropping the Pilot
But radio helps our own aircraft
too.Every pilot knows the difficulty^.
and dagger of a fog landing. Untilthe development of ultra-short wavetransmission fog invariably immo-bolized aircraft on the ground. Today, blind landing is not merelypossible but safe.Experiments in the radio controlof aircraft are also being made inBritain and America (Eventually, weare promised, both pilot and naviga
tor will be superfluous. The bomber
will take off, fly at, an enormous
height to its objective, do its work
and return without direct human con
trol. The United States Army Air
Corps began experiments of this
type more than six years ago.

CHAPTER V
SYNOPSISOn board tha Ortxaba. beautiful Camilla Dean mreU Ronald Barker, halfAmerican, Interested In affairs In Pal-•aline. They pledge eternal friendshipand Ronald tells Camilla that the manknown as Joseph Asad—a fellqw voyager who la one of Camilla’s admirers—is in reality Hassan Isar. son of one ofthe richest sheiks In Damascus, returning from a visit to Washington wherebe has tried to end the British mandatetn Palestine. He has been instrumentalIn the removal of Osman Khali from theMosque of Omar in Jerusalem and Bark-er asks Camilla to find out from Hassan—Joseph Asad—where Osman Khali ishiding. Camilla cultivates Hassan’s affections.
At certain moments It took allCamilla's skill to keep Asad atarm’s length. And when he offeredmarriage she r,»£«.»end herself bythe expedient >• ‘i*‘W aim howmany wives ’ e a/-*-*. had. -Instead of b ing Cl yed he tookher question in all seriousness."Two.” he said gravely. "They liveat my place In Damascus, but Ifyou’ll marry me I’ll let them go.You are the one woman I want. Iam a modern, a modern Mohammedan. If I married you it wouldmake things different. Instead ofwar you might help me to bringpeace to all of Palestine .and
Syria.”She was sure he believed what
he said at the moment and In the
sincerity of his gesture. "You make
; your offer very attractive. Every
woman likes to have influence in
great affairs.” she said slowly, andthen paused. ”1 like you-’Joe. but

It’s a story-bookcity, the city of Haroun-al-Raschid,of the Thousand and One Nights,and the flying carpet that takes people mysteriously from one place toanother without leaving a trace.Perhaps the mysterious son of theProphet — what’s his name?—Osman—Osman Khali escaped thatway from Jerusalem—’’Her cast was unsuccessful, forher big .trout did not rise. Asadqnly lowered his eyelids for a moment "Anything isj>c«*iblc In the
East," he said with a frown.Camilla’s fears that she mighthave aroused Asad's suspicionswere not diminished by the fact> that instead of hunting her up the' next day as usual, she saw him late1 In the afternoon in earnest conversation with Mrs. Trimble as shegassed the door of th* smokingroom.
Ronald Barker sat reading, orchatting with Josie Holloway, and
Camilla resented what’ seemed his
indifference or a cold-blooded de
termination to let nothing interferewith his intention to get all the information he could from Camilla,no matter bow much it cost her.So, taking the hint, she went to aquiet corner aft where the deck
steward wrapped her in her blanketand brought her tea. As the man ■atrsighter.i'd he put a folded slipof paper into her fingers." She read:’’Captain’s cabin at seven for cocktails. Meanwhile try Mosque ofKazemain, Bagdad.”There was no need Mr explanation. She put the slip of paper tn
her bag as Joseph Asad approachedand took the steamer chair nest to
give me the right answer.”"I don’t mind. Your company ispleasant" Camilla rose. "And nowI must go and dress for dinner.Au revoir.’’
It seemed probable that RonaldBarker had procured the invitation
for cocktails from Captain Simpsonin order that they might meet unobserved and uninterrupted It
grew dark while Camilla dressed
and when she made her way up theafter stairway she saw people go
ing down to dinner, for the" gong
had already sounded. She watchedfor her opportunity and reachedthe boat deck, going foftvard to thedoor of the captain's cabin, knocking timidly. Captain Simpson, acocktail shaker in one band, openedthe door himself, greeting herwarmly. Ronald Barker had notyet arrived.She was looking at the captain assounds of a commotion came frorrjthe deck outside—blows and « sudden crash. Simpson rushed intothe gangway and out on deck wherein dim silhouette against the neatrest lifeboat Camilla could see twostruggling figures She caught agleam on the blade of a knife andsa,w. it stop in the air as it wascaught and held Then a "blow fromRonald Barker as the man felt
the knife clattering to the deck. Hetried to scramble to his feet, butSimpson caught him by the ankleand Barker fell on him. By thistime one of the men on the bridge
had rushed down and they held theman helpless.The whole affair had only taken
seconds and no one on the decks

"Don’t mind me,”he said.
"Can you get Ayub to talk?”"We've tried everything butthumbscrews.”"Has the wireless operator beenable to Identify Mohammed All?" Itwas Camilla’s voice"He still says he thinks It mustbe Mr. Mahmoud Daoud.”"Why?"“Because he Insists Daoud openedthe envelope end glanced- at themessage before he discovered itwasn't for him."

Simpson said. "It’sone of my own crew. He'll do astretch for this,"All the fight was out of him andthey slipped handcuffs over hiswrists. They tried to make himtalk, but he only stared al themdully, breathing hard. His namewas Ayub. they.said, a Turk whobad signed on at Piraeus last voyage.

stamp collector, Mr W. J. Web

for the British Treasury. Each of
the stamps has a ship on it under

GERMAN BABIES’ DEATH RATE
The death rate of German babies
last year was still much higher than
the infant mortality rate in England,
comparing the figures for 126 Eng
lish large towns with German towns
having a population of over 100,000,
The latter statistics, from the
Reich’s Jdurnal of Public Health,
which have now ■ become available,
give an infajitik* mortality rate dur
ing 1940 pf 63 per 1,000 as against
the English rate oJT 51. The German
rate is the highest for" the last four
years, for each of which it has been
at least 10 ger 1,000 higher than
the English rate. In no one year
since the Nazis bluffed their way to
power has the number of the “Her-

proached the English total.

tons of it They have their own
traditional method of preparing the
beans which are cleaned, roasted,
crushed, and made into big slabs in
their own kitchens. The cocoa, or
”ki” as they call it on the lower
decks, is scraped down from these
slabs in the cook's galley for liquid
use and on the night watches both
officers and men drink it round the
guns and torpedo tubes.
During the battle of the Plate
galley staffs kept up a. supply of hot
cocoa throughout the whole action
and while Crete was being evacuated
under heavy bombardment from land
antf air the galley staff of one war
ship sent a constant flow of cocoa
to more than one thousand men.
The convoy service also absorbs
goodly quantities and cocoa appears
thrice a week on the Army diet
sheet for supper. It is included in
every parcel sent to British prisoners
of war and during the Battle of
London and the bombing of British
cities people in air-raid shelters ad
opted it as a standard drink. Each
member of the Civil Defence Force*
is allowed three-sixteenths of an
ounc cocoa a day. It comes to
them in 7 lb. tins from hte nation's
"Shadow- Larder” which has 1,000,-
0v0 rations stored secretly through
out the country. . ‘ -

"Looking for one thing, we shallfind another. Looking for utlimatetruth, which is untindable we shalllearn at least to repudiate all that is
falye.”
This passage, which is quoted from
an essay by the modern Chinese phil
osopher Lui Yutang, is as succinctly
true as anything that has been said
about truth and the search thereof.
Philosophers of all ages have sought
it; often they have thought they had
found it, only to have thinkers bf
new generations discover new truths
that negatived the old. The ancients
proved to their own satisfaction that
the world was flat. Jt was truth to
them; they believed it implicitly.
Others came and found still newer
truth and proved the world was
round. Still others followed and show
ed that the perfect sphere of their
predecessors, has slightly flattened
poles; an old truth discarded, a new
one in its place. So with the uni
verse. Ancient seekers after truth
were convinced that the earth was
the centre of it. Galiileo and others
suffered disgrace and contumely
when their search led them to the
discovery that the sun‘and not the

Edward Charles Corbett
lata of the Town of IngaroolL in tha
earth was the centre of our infintesi-
mal part of the universe; that the
earth but rotated with its fellow
planets around the --un.
But in spite of tne fact that think
ers made mistakes in their search
and reached wrung conclusions,
which th<*y thcmselvea held as true,
they did indeed find much that was
true and of infinite value to mankind.
They may, in fact, have found more
in their search than they set out to
find. They may have discovered truth
along the way that was of vastly
greater value than that that lay at
the end of their particular rainbow.
This was very true of the old philoso
phers, the forerunners of our modern
scientists. They set out to find the
way to transmute base metal into
gold. They failed, but who can say
what strange and awe-inspiring facts
they did- discover while experiment
ing? Searching for one thing they
found another and many another.
The same thing occur* today. Not
every scientirt, be he ever so. wise,
succeeds in his quest, but no scien
tist seeking along his own particular
road, has failed to find something of
worth and sometimes, something of
infinitely more value than the thing
he pursued. The discovery of stain
less steel for example. That was a
fluke; one of those strange unpre
dictable happenings in the world of
science, but had the worker not
been searching for something, that
particular scientist could not have
found that secret awaiting discovery
in the universal Mind. The RontgenRay* tpd-came to'us in the same
’way; pickbd up by the wayside by a
man in his search for other treasure.
There are countless other similar in
cidents told ii) the age-long story of
the seekers. The Biblical admonition,
"Search and ye shall find," has
proved true all through the years.
Vasco de Gama searched tor the
Fountain, of Youth and found the
Indie*. Perhaps he found youth too,
tor the man whose whole heart is
set on research Joes find youth, that
youth that give* to him joy in con
stant endeavour. There’s a -lightly
flavourful saying to the effect that
no man is old until he ha* done look
ing and although the "looking” may
be supposed to refer to the fair sex.
it is quite trpe in a broader sense,
(or should it be written, in • broad
sense?) No man or women to whom
life offers endl«n possibilities of
search is ever old. I knew a woman
of eighty ,who being bed-ridden
through an accident began the study
of psychology. How call her old?
Th< fountain of youth was within
her. She had found it by seeking the
•new, the interesting and absorbing
throughout her long lifer.
No man »«-•-<» in vain. He may
have spent all hi* year* in search of
something he wa* never fated to
find, but he found, you may be sure,
infinitely more in the aggregate
along the wayside 'of travels and It
may be that the casual finding of one
unfooked for bonus for work well

CANADA'S ‘PAY-AS-YOU-GO” |
WAR POLICIES
problems'which will follow demobil
ization.
Well-informed sources along Par
liament Hill are surprised at the re-
ntarkalble degree of success achieved
by Canada in her “pay-as-you-go”
policies for financing this most ex
pensive war effort of our entire his
tory as a nation. The estimated total
expenditure of Canada in this fiscal
year, starting April 1, 1941, will be
no less than about $2,900,000,000;
and Canada can raise by taxation a
maximum of no more than $1,430,-
000,000. Moreover, the total expen
diture will be about one-half of our
national income for this year, in
cluding $1,350,000,000 for our own
war effort, $1,100,000,000 for aid
to Britain and $450,000,000 for
normal peace-time costs of the Gov
ernment. However, a long range
view is taken in Ottawa, with the
result that adjustments are being
made in the nation's economy so
that when this war ends, the taxa
tion will not likely be so burdensome
as after past wars. In other words,
to fur as the “pay-as-you-go” policy
is not only proving successful in fin
ancing war expenditures but it is
also likely to solve many post-war

FOR A MILD. COOL; SMOKE
H. GRANT SMALL
Ip the midst of numerous exciting
events along Parliament Hill, partic
ularly in reaction to happenings
abroad, important disclosures on ed
ucation in Canada have caused wide
spread interest in the capital. It has
been disclosed that the Province of
Quebec has the doubtful honour of
supporting local education with the
smallest giant of any important part
of the British Empire, being like
wise in the same position in regard
to the other provinces. The Quebec
Government gives grants covering
5.7 per qent of the money spent on
primary and secondary education in
chat province, with Prince Edward
Island contributing 54.2 per cent,
British Columbia 28 per cent, Sas
katchewan 21.1 per cent, New
Brunswick 17.2 per cent, Nova Scot
ia 16.4, Alberta 15.1 per cent, Man
itoba 14.7 per cent, and Ontario 11.4
per cent. These comparative figures'
arc being studied carefully by the
authorities now since it is admitted
by all that educational efforts can
not be neglected even in times of
crisis or war.
REAL STORY ABOUT CANADA’S
CONSCRIPTION OF
MANPOWER
• touring the many years that this
strictly impartial observer has been
reporting reliable information to the
people of Canada-r^sa whole on all
important aspects of the road over
which they have been asked to
travel by various national leaders
there has never been a period along
Parliament Hill comparable to the
present one on account of the con-
Jinuing and spreading spirit of dis
unity which has beeri encouraged by
the clamor and confusion of millions
of Canadians who remain unconvin
ced uncertain and uninformed on
the alleged shortcomings of the
Government’s policy on the issue of
conscription of manpower fo^service
abroad, though there are many who
believe that the Administration in
Ottawa has itself largely to blame
lor the lack of understanding that
exists on the issue .to an alarming
degree throughout the country, es
pecially since, so far as ‘history
shows, no Canadian Government has
had- such facilities for diseminating
information ?o quickly and so widely
as the present Government in Ot
tawa.
It is at) issue wjiich has been de
bated by critics ranging from recal
citrant .elements amongst national
leaders lo the captious men or wom
en in the rank and file of the masses,
or from debates in the highest na
tional rostrums to lowly quarters on
the main streets and homes of every
city, town and village- wherever or
whenever two or mote Canadians
have gathered together. In other
words, this nation is wallowing now
in a sea. of doubt on this grave wtar
issue as divergent extremes, avoiding a course of tolerance and objectivity, have concentrated theirefforts in arousing the Canadian citizenry not to an understanding ofthe real perils and necessary responsibilities (but in hampering them at
evey turn by findng faujt with their
leaders, particularly Premier Mac
kenzie King, instead of seeking the
true reason or proper remedy for
this cancerous growth in the body
politic.
Of course candor on the part of
the Government, especially the Prime
Minister, might offset or obliterate
the expedients, such as appeals, de
nunciations, warnings , and rising
flood of propaganda, all of which
have been invoked to create this
passionate criticism against the
Government’s policy on this issue,
but many of the doubts that now
surround the Government’s motives
and judgment cannot be removed
completely without revealing loosely
essential diplomatic or military se
crets. However, it is possible at thislime to report certain information
on this issue which should cause the
man-in-the-street throughout pan
ada to be reassured and inspired on
th effective war leadership along
Parliament Hill and which should
cause to disappear much of the
present nourishment for discontent
or disunity, with this information re
sulting in loyal support of our warleaders replacing blind obedience toold, outdated prejudices and withan informed public opinion replacinga managed public opinion.There is a widespread opinion inthis country that, outside of the
French-Canadian minority, all other
Canadians are of the same mind in
regard to the need or desirability of
conscription for overseas service at
this thne. This is an absolutely false
opinion and this is not in accord with
the best information available along
Parliament Hill, with much evidence
existing in support of this statement.
For instance, Premier John Bracken
of Manitoba, has indicated that the
present voluntary recruiting system
is not adequate, but Premier W. J.
Patterson of Saskatchewan has coun
tered with the belief that "conscrip
tion is not an issue,” adding that
"any volunteer is better than a con
scripted man,” Then again, there is
the example of the annual meeting
of the Canadian Chamber of Com
merce where there was a very dis-,
tinctly divided opinion on this issue,
with some delegates even refusing
to discuss or to vote on it. '
Furthermore, the true attitude of
French-Canada has been represented
in an entirely false light. It is a new
attitude. French language newspap
ers are wholhcartedly behind the
Canadian war effort in every respect
The 'first regiment to reach fullstrength in Canada when war brokeout was French-Ganadian. More than55,000 French-Canadians are in thearmed forces^o^ Canada. French-Canadians have subscribed verygenerously to all loans and projects
in comparison to 'their wealth and
population. . Since the outbreak of
this war, Quebec's industries have
suffered’ less from\strikes or other
interferences than any others in all
Canada. In short, th average French-
Canadian is - now more enthusiastic
for a British victory than ever before
in any other war involving the Moth
erland. They often recall the immor
tal words of* that great Canadian,
Sir Wilfred -Laurier, who declared
just twenty-five,years ago: "I speak
with rqy whole soul and heart when
I say that if Germany were to win
I would be thankful that Providence
should close my eyes before I saw
the sun rising on,such a day.
The truth is that, as in all other
wartime requirements, when a volun
tary response is inadequate, the com
pulsory system must be used, with
the measure of success attained by
the former delerming the need
or desirability of the latter. This is
the principle.
With the creaton of a 6th Division,
the need for reinforcements of the
Army is about 100,000 men a year.
The Air Force requires about 7,000
men a month. The Navy needs about700 men a month. On the otherhand, Canada’s master plan for warindicates the need of not only anadditional half-million men for thearmed forces but a million moremen for war industries, with experts
visualizing an actual scarcity of
manpower in the near future, espec-
aliy traned men. Therefore, this
nation’s present policy on conscrip
tion of manpower for service over
seas is not one based on vacillation
but rather in accord with the shift
ing trends of the war, though pol
itical leaders may express it with
laconic phrases that often mystify,
antagonize, or alarm the man-in-
the-streeL
Premier Mackenzie King, presum
ably, has properly considered it nec
essary to keep the people uninformed
as to some of his plans on manpower
and as to the reasons for forming
these plans having a natural inclin
ation to act first and to explain
afterwards. However, even in Brit
ain, Premier Winston Churchill has
declared in the House of Commons
that the dstribution of manpower
“constitutes a direct and central
part of the war effort which we do
not by any means desire lo invite
the enemy to be a party to,” adding
in conclusion that "if they knew the
full distribution of manpower, they
could probably divine a great deal
of our internal situation. “In otherwords, tl>e man-in-the-street cannotexpect candor on any subject suchas conscription when such discussion: by the Prime Minister of Canada orany other Cabinet Minister mayloosely reveal essential diplomatic
or military secrets to the enemy.
Those who continue to urged diver
gent extreme views on conscription
of manpower for service overseas,
without possessing the kind of know
ledge essential for a full compre
hension of the need, are hampering
'an effective war leadership and a
definite course of action. Moreover,
merely to find fault constantly with
Premier Mackenzie King and othir
leaders of our democracy is not lo
find either a reason or a remedy on
this issue of conscription. Indeed, it
is held along Parlament Kill that
this infelicitous and capricious fault
finding strategy is a definite monkey
wrench in Canada's war .naehine
and it should be removed permanent-^ly for the duration of the struggle,*
Its absence would not be deplored.
